    I mean if that gets these morons to vaccinate their kids, I guess I’ll take that unintended consequence.

    If conservative mothers have to suffer, I’m willing to be like Charlie Kirk and have them pay the cost for getting the stupid off of vaccines.

      It won’t.

      Vaccines make a good source for blame because mothers can pawn off autism on the medical field. They caused their children to get autism.

      By making it Tylenol, the blame can get shifted back to mothers. Oh, you were a bad mother because you took Tylenol instead of Aspirin.

      This isn’t going to change these mothers’ minds.

        So. About that Reye’s Syndrome…

        We all knew that apap had risks. Namely liver damage at high doses. But it’s been the de facto infant/pedi pain reliever/fever reducer because it is the most effective and safest overall.

        Certainly more safe than letting a high-grade fever continue.

        Although I will say that between two kids, two pediatricians, two birthing centers and two hospital networks, the advice has always been to let kids tough-out a low-grade fever.

          They’re saying that it is a problem that the mothers took Tylenol during pregnancy, not that mothers gave their children Tylenol.
